I finally got a fairly good finish by letting the varnish dry for a week or so and then using the leftover bits of my 3M headlight polishing kit (bought for the '96 E300D) to lightly sand and then...

Thank you. The Wood Crafter store recommended shellac as a sealer. I bought some and used it in experimenting with the veneer but don't remember whether it was used on the final piece. Clearly, your...

Finally finished

OK, so I'm not a woodworker. The wood panel took forever to finish but it is finally done and in the car. The panel is such a tight fit in the ashtray space that the gauge brackets cannot be used....

Vehicle: '87 300D (W124, OM603)
Speed: 65 mph

EGT gauge sensor - final location

Here are three pictures of the EGT gauge sensor in its final location. The adapter allows the sensor to stick well into the flow of exhaust gases as they pass on their way to the turbo. I'll try out...

"Far enough"

When I get the brazing done you may come see for yourself. :D

I'd rather not drill holes in the turbo feed pipe since that is not a reversible operation. If the metal is not thick enough to...

"Top curved flange?"

I'm not sure I understand your question . . . are you speaking of the copper piece when you write "top curved flange?" I had assumed that it could be brazed to the steel EMT. I know little of brazing...

"Deep Well" Probe

Here it is. The pieces go to my welder tomorrow for brazing. Since he is typically very busy, I have no idea how long it will be before he can get to it. I'll post results once the brazing is...

Results

OK, here are the test results:

With the EGT probe in the factory tapped hole at cylinder #1 (why they do that?) the gauge reads between 450-650F around town and on the local freeways (no hill...

Update

Thanks, Nik. BTW, where ya been?

Here's an update. I discovered that 3/4 inch copper is too big for the EGR port on the exhaust and 1/2 inch is too small for the EGT probe, so the idea of building...

Zebrano

Which reminds me, I have some Zebrano left over from building my 123 panel. It's in perfect condition, as-purchased, uncut, and unfinished. I have two pieces, each enough to make a panel for the...

OK, I never look at 190-class cars much, there are several in the local Pick and Pull. I'll have to be more observant next time.

Probe location

Yeah, I am concerned about that. I like your idea of a "deep well" plug but the EGR take-off isn't even straight so it would take a lot of careful cutting and bending. Even with an extra-long probe...

Let me see how this one goes. Also, I don't know if the later 124 consoles are identical to my 1987.

Looking in EPC

Is that a W201.029 or 201.128? All I can find in EPC is in Section 68 "Covering," part number 123 683 09 10, "Cover, aperture for radio."

Jeff, thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out.

Ashtray gauges for the W124

I somehow had it stuck in my head that the three-gauge panel of image #1 (boost, EGT, volts) from my '85 300D/W123 would not fit in my '87 300D/W124 because the W124 ashtray in image #2 was narrower...
